Author Vicky Costello Draft 8/23/2013 Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Overview The Elster Multi-Function Meter Module (MFMM) is designed to provide active energy (Kilo-Watt hour) and reactive energy (Kilo-Var hour) data from Elster Alpha+ (A2) meters for use in residential and industrial commercial services. Figure 1 - 1. Elster Multi-Function Meter Module The meter kit includes: • Elster Multi-Function Meter Module • Elster Alpha+ (A2) Meter Landis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1289 Rev AA Draft 8/23/2013 Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide • Landis+Gyr Antenna Required Software To work with the endpoint, you need at least one of the following software tools and documentation: • UtiliNet Solution Center (USC) • Meter Master Lite software • • Meter Master Lite Quick Start Guide, publication number 98-0071 Elster ALPHA Plus software Landis+Gyr recommends you have RF Verify software and the RF Verify User Guide, publication number 98-0069. Labels The endpoint contains the following labels: Figure 2. Label Identification Table 1. Elster Label Identification Label Description Elster Meter Name Plate AEP compliant bar code that defines meter manufacturer, form, base, test voltage and current, watt-hour constant, serial number, and customer specific information. Manufacturer or customer specified serial number Manufacturer model and style number 98-1289 Rev AA Landis+Gyr Confidential Information Draft 8/23/2013 Landis+Gyr Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Table 1. Elster Label Identification Label Description Landis+Gyr FCC ID Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Identification (ID) number assigned to the Elster Multi-Function Meter Module for use in the Elster Alpha+ meter. Landis+Gyr LAN ID Identifies the Elster Multi-Function Meter Module to the Landis+Gyr billing network (printed and barcoded). LAN ID The LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Landis+Gyr endpoint. Landis+Gyr provides the LAN address. You cannot change the radio’s LAN IDs. Features and Functions Endpoint Registration The endpoint is automatically registered with the host system. No special tools are needed during installation. Admin packets are sent once each hour at a random time during the hour and play a crucial role in the automatic discovery of a meter by the Landis+Gyr system. They tell what kind of meter the module interfaces with, and other characteristics, such as the scaling constant, number of dials, and the firmware version. Admin packets include: Table 2. Admin Packet Information Meter ID Identifies the customer Protocol ID Identifies the type of meter. Scaling Constant Tells how to convert meter readings into real units such as kWh Number of dials Also referred to as displayed digits. Maximum Sensor Change Rate Tells how much the meter reading can change in a certain period of time. Firmware Version Specifies the firmware revision number. Current Cumulative Reading from the meter Communication and Retrieving Data A microprocessor on the communications module (MFMM) reads energy data through the meter’s serial interface and transmits the information to the head end system. Several different packet types are sent.The most frequently sent packet contains the current rotational count and historical interval data that is useful for load profiling and time-of-use metering. Another less frequently sent (Admin) packet contains the current cumulative rotation count, useful for basic automatic meter reading applications. An Admin packet is sent once hourly and contains the information listed in Table 2. Landis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1289 Rev AA Draft 8/23/2013 Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr Power Outage/Restoration The Multi-Function Meter Module gets Power Fail signal from meter. The communication module saves critical endpoint data to non-volatile memory, creates and sends a configurable number of power fail messages (typically 20) to the host system that include the LAN ID. When power is restored, the communication module (MFMM) sends a Power Up message from Channel 1 and Channel 2, if available, to the host system. This message includes the following information: • LAN ID • Total count • Last ten interval counts Customer Service Contact Landis+Gyr Customer Support at solutionsupport.na@landisgyr.com or call 888-390-5733 with any questions or problems for guidance through the troubleshooting process. Compliance FCC Class B This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help. WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 98-1289 Rev AA Landis+Gyr Confidential Information Draft 8/23/2013 Landis+Gyr Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide RF Exposure In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radio frequency fields, the radiating element shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 centimeters will be maintained. Host FCC Label Requirement In the final installation, the following information must be visible: “Contains FCC ID: R7PEC1R1S1 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.” Landis+Gyr Confidential Information 98-1289 Rev AA Draft 8/23/2013 Elster Multi-Function Meter Module Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr Product Specifications Table 3.
